"I've been involved in this entire process, every single step of the way. I have wanted to be a fashion designer since I was a little girl. I grew up designing and sewing dresses for my barbie dolls, and the Lauren Conrad Collection has been my dream come true."

LC talked to us about how much the line means to her. Plus, we've all seen her taking promoting the line very seriously and going to fashion school on The Hills, but rumors are rumors. So, do you believe Lauren Conrad about being involved with every step of her clothing line?

SHE DOES MAKE HER OWN. SHE ISNT ABOUT MTV GIRL. SHE WAS HAPPY TO SHOW HER LIFE ON REALITY TV. DO YOU WANNA KNOW WHY SHE STUDIED FASHION DESIGN COS SHE WANTED TO BE A FASHION DESIGNER. LAUREN CONRAD LINE MEANS ONLY HER MAKES CLOTHES. LETS SAY MARC JABOBS LINE, DO YOU THINK HE MAKES IT? YES HE DOES.
WHOEVER VOTED NO, MAYBE OR OTHERS ARE STUPID.

I really like Lauren, and I feel this is a little harsh considering I like her, but the fashion line is very simple, the clothes aren't wildly unique or innovative, I'd believe she designs them.
Maybe this will force the producers of the Hills to let us see something more interesting than her sitting at a desk gossiping with Whitney and fighting with Heidi over nonsense...

Im certain that she isn't doing this by herself but I think that she is involved. There arent that many people who are the alexander wangs or the jack mcculloughs lazaro hernandezs of the world who are young prodigies but im sure she loves fashion and she might be capitalizing on what she has.

I wouldnt call this a rumor since it is based on facts. Her line has been dropped from Kitson because she didnt promote it.
Even the way she defended herself, she didnt talk about what she does she just said that "she always wanted to blah blah blah barbies"
And its Creative Director, not "directive creator", and it sounds like that creative director is the one actually doing all the work.
I have heard from people who were actually in school with her (didnt she not graduate?) that she did really poorly in class and her teachers didnt even like her.

magsugar, it is dolce and gabanna! it is a fabulous dress ;]
as for lauren... i do not think she should be classified as a designer. i think she is like every other celebrity designer who has a real designer do all of the work, and then approve the design and slap their name on it. i think it is sad that people in the world have actually lost the sense of knowledge to know this. i am tired of her being referred to as a designer when her clothing is sadly generic and lacks any sense of creativity and individuality. i doubt she does all of the work herself or even has that much input.

If she really designed the clothes, then you would think she would take more of an interest in seeing it do well. But Kitson recently dropped her line because of poor sales, and LC could never find the time to come into the store to do a promotion. TMZ has the pics of her clothes at Kitson now, marked buy one, get one free.
Going to fashion school doesn't mean one becomes a designer. Do you realize how many fashion schools there are in the country and how many thousands of people attended them, who never had any career in fashion.

I believe that she is involved at a high level. I mean, this is what she goes to school for. Way back in the Laguna Beach days, fashion was always her thing. I'm sure decisions get made without her being there since she has a little more status but, either way, I believe she is very involved.

i give her some credit for her effort and know she is not the next John Galliano or Marc Jacobs, but why give her so much grief...this is the reason she is famous because people argue about her. i wish the hills would disappear taking all of the cast with it.

What dumb designer will let LC take credit for her designs. This story is pretty stupid.
1. It's common sense, a designer will never let another designer take credit for his/her designs.
2. How many celebrities are involved in every step of the design process? Name 5 celebs and I will shut the hell up.
3. I saw The Hills Season Two DVD and actually saw the girl sketch, etc, so no I don't believe it.
4. She has talked abou being a designer all her life, it started in S1 of LB, she is serious about this.
5. Why is Lauren being picked on, can TMZ do a 30 second investigtion about Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez, Puff Daddy, Heidi Montag, Perez Hilton, and Paris Hilton Too. Can these celebs actually sew?
6. Leave Lauren Alone.

Maybe but I don't care. I don't know her and I don't even watch her show. Her clothing lines are basic stuff. It's not original at all. I could totally find something similar to her clothing lines less expensive around the corner.

Going to design school for one year doesn't mean she can make any clothes. She might not have even passed her classes or did poorly, with all the tv and partying in her schedule. It would have looked really bad for tv if she did nothing and just hung around the beach and nightclubs for her tv show. They need to appear to be making some sort of an effort in life.
